This is a watch I would get if I was still in the field. It would be a very cool watch to have. It is the Garmin D2 Pilot Watch. Why? Well it has all these following functionality.... compass, horizontal situation indicator, ground speed indicator, altimeter and even tell the time. :)
But best of all (bragging rights) is that it can act as a Garmin navigation device and has the ability to load a flight plan and view it on a small map on the watch face. Now don't tell me that is not cool..... On a serious note, it also comes with a NRST button that will guide you to the nearest airport in worse case scenario.
Included in this standard aviator watch are date, timer, chronograph, chimes and vibration functions. It is water resistant to 5 ATM and has a rechargeable battery with a between charge life of 50 hours to 5 weeks dependent on the watch mode. The watch will retail for USD 450.
